I love your ideas. Thank you for sharing. I am a music teacher here is Texas. I am curious, does your Fine Arts director lean more towards one teaching method than the other like here most of the directors here lean more towards us teaching the Kodaly method. I personally love both Orff and Kodaly, whatever makes music fun and keeps the kids engaged.

Thanks for sharing it is great to see what other teachers do in their classroom.

No Fine Arts Director here. I teach K-6 and another educator does JH/HS. I tend to bit a bit more Orffy but use both schools of thought when planning lessons. I want the kids to be busy busy busy in class. It makes the best use of time AND keeps classroom management...well...manageable! :-)
